One of the young king's greatest

Princess Henrr of Battenbera. who
distinctly does not like or approve of
Alfonso.: f She "considers him. a dissi
pated youth,- and7 lt - Is said . that the

and - was the cause of much rejoicing.
The Infante . Don Jaime second child
of the royal couple, was born deaf and
has never Spoken.- He Is now five years
Old. In .addition he has never been in
robust health sgid ba repeatedly been
operated on for affections of thasnose and
throat.- In August, 1811. Queen Vloto
rla took - him to - Frlburg to consult a
Swiss specialist, but the operation at
that time failed to produce a permanent
cure..' On June B. 1811, Prince Jaime
was operated on for an ahcess'of the
ear by - Professor Moore -of Bordeaux,
the operation being of a somewhat seri
ous character, aa the abcess had Invaded
the middle ear and threatened the
brain. It wsa successfully removed, t "
The deafness, and consequent dumb
ness of the little Prince has -been the
great sorrow of ' the -Queen of - Spain's
life. For a time, many .attributed the
Badness of her' appearance to the mem
ory, of -the anarchist bomb thrown at
her bridal carriage on her Wedding day,
when both, the king and she escaped by
a seeming miracie.
f The grief for her little son's -affile
tlon is now augnented by the deafness
of her daughter. ' ' ' , , ' -
As a result of her son's affliction, ft
Is said that Queen Victoria took an in
tense interest in the thousands of deaf
and dumb children In Spain, and how
plans to institute schools for their edu
cation. In the fall of 1912. the queen
sent Dr. Vincents Llorente to New York
In the interests of young Don Jaime to
study the esse of Miss Helen Keller
and the methods of teaching deaf mutes.

At the invitation of Mr. Angus I rode
In the cab of one of his engines over his
acclden t-prcof system, continue the
correspondent) The little, railway Is en
tirely: devoid or tne ordinary . signals.
At first we ran at the rate of 60 miles
aa hour, over a track devoid of traffic
passing '- over' the ' three sections ..into
which the line is divided. As the engine
entered each section a bell with a deep
note sounded, -denoting, that ',tbe line
was clear,
"'Now." said .Mr!'-Angus, "we will see
what happens -when another engine l
on the line."; He rang through , from a
control box to headquarters and m
structed the drlver-.of the. other loco
motive to run. Into a section It Is a
single-line railway, so the second loco
motive , was on our line direct ahead.
.. "We will make s rush at speed for
fhat engine,' said Mr. Angus. "The
driver .will pretend to take no notice
of it and we will see what happens.". The
driver opened the throttle end the lo
comotive' started off.' Its speed became
xreaterand greater. Ahead on our line
was the other locomotive. There seemed
no apparent reason why we should 'not
crash into It. Then suddenly the whistle
of the engine shrieked;- yet the driver
had touched -nothing In the ordinary
j This shrill whlsMe would be the warn
ing to the driver that be was in. Imme
diate -danger, but .our driver for the
occasion- was supposed to be deaf.. A
moment or so - after, the, whistle there
catne a hissing of tsteam and the grind;
tng of brakes. The engine Slowed abrupt
ly and stopped dead, Still the driver had
touched nothing. The brain of the engine
saved ua-; from disaster,. i
How.it la. eu done became evident
from an examination of tha permanent
way and control boxes. Kach section of
the line Is guarded at both enda, by
three rathpa. (metal contrivances be
tween the rails),; which, are connected
by telegraph wires to an Instrument in
control box." The ' locomotive is also
fitted ' With an ' electrical .: contrivance
brought Into coo taet with", the ramp by
Shoe depending from tbe engine. The
brain of the engine automatically tele
graphs to the Instrument in the control
box, i which instrument telegraphs back
that the- section Is . free , from traffte.

If, however, the section is blocked, the
brain, in the same way causes a whistle
to blow, when the driver should atop the
train, If be falls to do so. then, and only
then, does the locomotive, by means of
the electrical contrivance, take the con-
trol out of his hands, it shuts off strain

, 'London, Oct. 18. "It -was hard
work," sighed . King. George, on his re
turn to Buckingham palace from . the
week he spent in the manufacturing 'dis
trict of Lancashire one of the many
earnest and conscientious attempts he
has made since his coronation to become
better acquainted with his subjects and
to win, if possible, a larger share of
their affection.' '. ,w 1
Probably no one In the kingdom re
alises more keenly, his lack of 'those
genial and magnetic qualities that made
his father so popular than does George
himself. ; But being the unfortunate
possessor of a practically colorless' per
sonality, all hla "hard work" has failed,
and today, ' although George has been
seen at close range by a much greater
proportion of hie people- than Kdward
ever was, they have little more knowl
edge of what manner of man their pres
ent sovereign really is than they have
about the csar of Russia. , .' 1 .. . ' ,
Most of them would be surprised to
learn, for : Instance, j that their - under-
sized, stoqp-shouldered, generally unpre
possessing ana unkingiy-appearing king
has a well developed bump of vanity.
One of hla entourage Is authority, for
the statement that ' George t carefully
cherishes a - set of scrap books filled
with pictures of himself clipped from
newspapers, - Illustrated . weeklies ' and
magazines, besides a complete file of all
original set photographs for which be
nas posed, as well as innumerable anan-
shots taken by members of . the royal
ramiiy. Tne king personally looks aft
er the Collection, and keeDS lt un to
date. .He is peculiarly' sensitive on nc-
count , of the pronounced bagglness- be-
neatn ma eyes, and is plainly, irritated
whenever this' feature hannena to be ac-.
centuated In a picture,, The court pho-
aograpners, or course, are aware of his
feelings in this, regard, and In. all of fl.
clar photographs the bagglness is care-
ruuy toned down; IX not touohed out al
together. King George takes a lively Interest in
men s fashions. He was one of the
first to wear white "vestings.'i and he
started the vogue in' England for brown
suits a couple of years ago.- Thla year,
at the Goodwood races, he appeared In
a complete suit of gray. Including socks
tne -powier;or the same color, a Latvia
which was straightway adooted bv
knuts" throughout . the kingdom. . H
Is always well tailored, in this respect
furnishing a striking ceatract to Queen
Mary, whose antiquated hats and ten-
eral dowdlness of attire ara the deanair
of all the women of the court George
prefers to wear naval or military uni
form, and does so whenever'there is the
slightest excuse. If It were not for of
fending the democratic sensibilities of
tne people, he would probabiv isdua n
order; that army and havy of fleers should
wear tne unirorm constantly, aehx Ger
many and other continental countries.
1 xno King never reads fiction. J hi j
chief literary diet is the dally press, to
wniou ne oevotes a greater part of his
otherwise unoccupied time. -r in books
his taste1 is for travel and. exploration,
and he Is particularly fond of studlng
the reports of the Royal Geographical
annfatv . v Jt . (,-... ....... -'.
George Inherited none of his father's
predilection for the other sex; In fact,
be is indifferent to all women except
his Wife and daughter. He is especially
bitter 'toward- the militant suffragettes,
and frequently fn the past' few months
he has taken occasion to express him- -self
In court gatherings very strongly
on the subject, thus violating one of hla
own rules of refraining - from giving a
personal opinion upon topics of public
discussion.'-; ':,.'; :-.?. -""r-V
As kings go, George Is V fairly in-.
dustrlous, but his activities are acquisi
tive 'rather than productive. By close
attention to the-' daily and weekly
prints, and ' through ' frequent confer
ences with cabinet ministers and privy
councillors, ' he manages to keep well
posted on the country's affairs and the
general trend of public opinion., All his
speeches, however, are written for' him
by others. ' Ills official pronouncements
to' parliament are prepared , by Premier
Asquith and other leaders of the gov
ernment party,, and the little Innocuous
talks he is frequently , called upon to
make at corner-stone .layings, and sim
ilar public ! functions, or in reply to
addresses from deputations of hia sub
jects, come from the. pen of the clever,
and competent Lord Stamford ham, his
principal, private secretary..:, " ,
, It la not generally known that - the
king is, a man of deep -religious con-'
victions. '. His title of 'defender of the
faith", ,1s no misnomer. Ills beliefs are
simple. He prefers practical, straight
forward, every-day conduct sermons to
exposition t of 1 creed of doctrine. Hia '
tendencies are toward what is known aa 1
"low church.' :; He attends personally to !
